Research affiliations
Theoretical writing is not the only way to share ideas and reflections. Research should also rely on research structures and bodies that create appropriate conditions for practical investigation activities. Any research activity requires a minimum of resources that allow it to progress and strengthen potentialities in relation to the community it serves or disciplines it feeds.
The following structures are those where I perform training, research projects and publications:

Presentation :
The Research Chair brings together academic and entrepreneurial partners around questions of contemporary changes in data transmission and digital innovation. This Chair is supported by AGEFA-PME, which mission is to promote and develop the vocational education and apprenticeship of employees of small and medium-sized enterprises. It is also partnered with the competitiveness cluster on digital content and services: Cap Digital and the group of online service publishers: GESTE.
The research team strives to understand the communicational, psychological and socio-cognitive phenomena generated by the massive use of ICTs in new learning modes. It evaluates their impact through experimental protocols and proposes the implementation of educational and editorial devices.
This Chair led by Professor Ghislaine Azémard is dedicated to research and experimentation on new methods of mediation and digital transmission.
These actions are organized around several objectives:
- Design an interdisciplinary theoretical framework to explain contemporary transmission processes;
- Design, create and evaluate innovative crossmedia devices dedicated to transmission and editing;
- Study and propose new forms of cultural, scientific, territorial and pedagogical mediations using new technologies in Information and Communication sciences;
- Set up an experimental space dedicated to digital applications (particularly smart windows, tactile tables and communicating objects).

Presentation
The Scientific Council of the University Agency of La Francophonie (AUF) proposed, during its April 2004 session, the creation of a network of researchers in information and communication technologies for education (ResaTICE ), which is particularly interested in the field of open and distance learning.
The first meeting of ResaTICE will take place in Tunis, on the occasion of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), on 16 and 17 November 2005. It will confirm the network's main research priorities and designate the members of its Scientific Committee for the next four years. It will also be an opportunity to reflect on the issue of the massive arrival of ICT in education systems, particularly those in the South, and therefore to revisit certain concepts, to question the uses, the conditions of appropriation , sustainability of devices and new resources.

Name : TICER |
Presentation
The TICER network was created as a Francophone initiative by AUF and CIRAD to promote the use of information and communication technologies in education and access to scientific and technical information. in Africa.
Digital inclusion is a key issue for African countries, especially in the area of education and research for achieving the millennium goals, including access to education for all in 2015.
The specific issues concern the inadequate and poorly controlled arrival of ICTs in the education and research systems of African countries, which necessitates revisiting certain concepts, questioning the uses, the conditions for appropriation, the sustainability of devices and new resources.
These issues motivated the creation of a thematic network on information and communication technologies for teaching and research in the framework of the SIST project. They will also contribute to building the capacity of ICT researchers and actors in Africa through a SIST Internet platform allowing access, production, dissemination and exploitation of scientific and technical information.
The activities of the network have been defined around the following objectives:
-
fostering partnerships between African teachers and researchers, as well as those of the French-speaking South, East and North,
-
support the dissemination of research results,
-
to provide scientific animation in the field of ICT in education and research.
The network worked to achieve the following two priorities:
teaching
-
to make teachers aware of innovative pedagogical practices at all levels for all audiences,
-
sensitize decision makers on politics, governance and strategic issues.
The research
-
Promote and disseminate innovative scientific approaches.

Name : Cartago Alliance |
Presentation :
The Cartago Alliance project initiative brings together experts and specialists in both standardization of e-learning and terminology. The project was founded in 2005 in Tunis at WSIS (World Summit on the Information Society) as part of an AUF initiative jointly with experts from Australia, Korea and the Latin Union. The purpose of the project is to support the multilingual and multicultural diversity of terminologies to be used in e-learning standards. The creation of resources, in many languages and different writing systems, in accordance with the ISO / IEC2382-36 standard, demonstrates the ability of the project to respond to its founding issues. After two years of informal status, Cartago has put in place a formal institutional framework to promote multilingual terminology work in collaboration with its international partners. A multilingual terminology register SC36, based on ISO standards mainly those of the TC37, is now active.

Summary
The following table reproduces the list of structures, instances, associations and networks (past and present) that allowed me to contribute to research activities on complementary themes: digital multilingualism, information and communication systems, e- Learning , learning standards, metadata and standardized terminology ...
